Bentonville, AR -- Inmates are getting their first taste of something other than cold meals inside the Benton County Jail.

The jail's commissary program is making its first delivery this week, and Captain Chris Sparks says it's already proving popular.

"Seven thousand dollars has been deposited by family members just in the last six days," Sparks says.

Inmates place orders on touchscreen kiosks, and once a week Keefe Group hands out the goods.
The menu includes more than 100 items, including snacks and hygiene items, as well as some important information.
